There Is No Bad Question

I am bias on too many levels to quantify, but I like this essay. Yes, I bought it. And I suggest just one read will justify the price. First, it is an essay quick read and justifies the hour of time to do a good first attempt. Second, the author begs this question (DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER: SPOILER ALERT!).
IS THIS A CULT? As a skeptic, I would be asking this question after his experience with the retreat, but admire his tact in leaving it an open question because people need to be skeptical when good things provoke too many questions. And no one need make up their mind before trying a retreat. But, there is a chance that reading this essay may motivate the reader to do a closer evaluation of said retread and meditation as a whole. Check it out.
